In section 5.7 of this doc (encrypting an entire XML document)
perhaps the prologue should not be encrypted? At least we perserve
well-formedness then for entire documents.
I realize that encrypting just the root element and not the prologue
is already covered by the case of encrypting an entire element.
So I guess the question is, should XML Encryption really say anything
about encrypting entire documents, including the prologue? If it does
then we are left with the consequence of XML Document encryption leaving
us with non-well formed XML, which requires a prologue.
